Effect of neuro muscular electrical stimulation in swallowing muscle function on post stroke Dysphagia

Aim And Objectives: To determine the effects of Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation in improving Muscles Function of Swallowing among subjects with post stroke dysphagia. Methodology: Quasi experimental study design was used this study. Total 30 Post stroke dysphagic patients were selected and all 30 patients underwent sEMG study for massator, sub mental and infra hyoid muscles. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation over the Pharyngeal muscles given for 4 weeks. End of the fourth week post test measurement was taken values were tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results: surface electro myography of bilateral massator, submental and infrahyoid muscle function in amplitude is improved in between pre and post intervention, test values that is P value is 0.001.Conclusion:Neuro muscular electrical stimulation is more beneficial effect in swallowing muscle activity in measures of amplitude on post stroke dysphagia.
